Second time here and we would do it again!…read more WHO DOESN'T LOVE A HAPPY HOUR ALL DAY? We came here on Thursday and had such a good time. The place is nicely spaced out, we gots a good table for my stroller needs, and the staff was so sweet. We ordered the patacon de chicharron and shared fries along with two rounds of drinks ... it was different but nice in a good way. Definitely not the last time we will come here. The food and people were great. The service was fast and they were all super attentive. See you soon Arepa Lady!

My day ended on a high note with arepas from Arepa Lady. I've been here before with my fellow…read moreYelpers after an event, and we sampled four different arepas--all with queso and different meats. W queso and shredded beef - This one stands out for me. The savory beef paired with the cheese and fresh arepa just works perfectly. W queso and chorizo - Definitely worth trying. It leans a bit on the dry side for my taste, but I can see it pairing really well with an alcoholic drink. W queso and chicharron - Also slightly dry, but the chicharrón itself is absolutely phenomenal in flavor. W queso and sirloin steak - OMG, this one is a hit too. Super satisfying and packed with flavor. I've also tried their leche flan, and as a flan girl myself, I have to say--it does not disappoint. The caramel sauce they add is especially good and really brings the dessert together. Overall, this place deserves a solid 5 stars. The arepas are incredibly fresh, and the customer service is top-notch. Few seating options and spacious. The attendant took the time to walk us through the menu, which made the experience even better. Honestly, with this level of passion and quality, who needs to go to Manhattan?

Went to this Columbian restaurant under the 7 train. They were fairly busy for a weekday lunch and…read morethey offered daily special for soup. I ordered the chicken potato one which was pretty tasty and ordered it as a combo which came with rice avocado and salad. The soup was tasty but compared to other Columbian restaurants- it was standard. However the portion was smaller than other places I've had and usually when I order it as a combo it comes with additional protein. My friend ordered a meat combo platter and it was the same comparison- portion size was smaller. I probably will not go here again cuz I know there are better quality And value Columbian restaurants in the area.

This is a Colombian restaurant that is walking distance from The Noguchi Museum. You get to view…read morebeautiful works of art then dine on some delicious Colombian food and good music which does get quite loud especially on weekends since there is a DJ set. Their menu offers an array of dishes ranging from small bites to feast for the eyes and your belly. One dish or rather protein that is a focal point in their menu is chicken since they serve a lean cut of chicken breast or rotisserie chicken paired with rice and other sides. Do prepare your stomach to feast at this restaurant and your ears to listen to some lively music while dining. The servers are very sweet, attentive, and patient for first timer such as myself visiting this restaurant especially in this NYC heat. But I do speak Spanish and part of my family is from Colombia so it was a plus and flex for me since I got to connect more with them. Overall, this restaurant is ideal spot to dine at after visiting The Noguchi Museum. That's my personal recommendation since you get to feed the mind with art history then feed yourself with some delicious Colombian food.

I've been to Inca Paisa before, and unfortunately it has never been my first choice. The only…read morereason I return is because it's my grandmother's preferred restaurant since she lives nearby. We arrived around 6:20-6:30 p.m. There were plenty of open tables, but we weren't seated until much later. During that time, the male waiter seemed more concerned with other tasks. He was seating a woman whose party of six hadn't yet arrived, going back and forth to the kitchen, handing out receipts, and collecting menus. After all of that, he finally approached us--not to seat us--but to ask, "How long are you going to take?" I replied, "Sir, we're here to eat." He responded that the side tables were for people watching the game. I explained that we were there to dine, as this is a restaurant. Even after we were seated, he avoided our table completely. He took the order of a table that had been seated after us while we continued waiting. About 20 minutes later, a female waitress noticed we had not been helped and took over our table. She was attentive, professional, and the only reason we received service. After placing our order, we waited about an hour for our entrées. The food was also underwhelming. The Papa a la Huancaína came with an excessive amount of sauce and very few potatoes. The Ceviche Mixto lacked the bright citrus flavor that ceviche should have. My grandmother, who is very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, found it bland, and even after taking it home we couldn't improve it. The Bistec Encebollado was slightly too salty for our taste. The beans simply weren't to my liking, though that's a matter of personal preference. Another issue is the dining room layout. The seating is extremely tight, to the point where it feels like you're almost elbow-to-elbow with the tables next to you, making the experience feel cramped. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the slow and inattentive service, the long wait for food, the cramped seating, and several disappointing dishes, the experience did not justify the visit. The female waitress deserves recognition for stepping in when we had been overlooked, but unfortunately she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience.

I say this because after looking at numerous menus, I noticed that each one is always missing part of the meal that makes it what it is ( avocado, chicharron, maduro, egg) and this place is included in that. It's the only reason they didn't receive a 5 for my review. What that said, they at least give you the option for the chicharron or chorizo and it comes with avocado ( a lot of places exclude avocado ). Now back to the food; the delivery came timely and was well packaged. I was pleased to see the portion of this as well! Let me start off with the empanada, that was NOT oily at all! Had more meat than potato and I saw the guiso ( that consists of tomato, scallion, etc) that was used to flavor the meat, making this a uniquely rare find of a good empanada. Now let me move onto the frijoles; they were sooooo good and perfectly seasoned which is another rare find. This made me so happy because I feel that this makes or break the dish at the restaurant you eat this dish from. Additionally, the meat was flavored well and the it was just all perfect! It's been months since I have moved and been looking for a new Colombian restaurant and after 4 months and a lot of bad orders, I'm happy to say I found my new go to place.

The Ensalada de Aguacate was simple but perfectly executed and balanced alongside the meal. The Pisco Sour was beautifully foamy with that perfect balance of citrus and sweetness.

Ambiance, service, cocktails, and food were all on point. Kevin was our server, he was very professional and accommodating. For cocktails, I had a mojito which was very refreshing and my friend had the pisco which was strong for me, but she thought it was perfect. For appetizers, we had the baked clams and the mixed seafood ceviche, both were really good, one of the best ceviches I've had. For our entrees, my friend and I shared the spaghetti pesto which is a must have. It was paired with a NY sirloin steak, the combination of both was literally to die for. We also had the lomo saltado which is one of the popular dishes. This was very flavorful, highly recommend ordering this as well. For dessert, we had the mango cheesecake and ice cream which was very delicious and perfect to end our evening. Overall great spot and will definitely return.
